Since time has been whizzing by, I have been having feelings of nostalgia...

I remember sitting in the back yard on my Dad's knee as he told me and all of the other neighborhood kids a scary story. I remember being woken up by my Mom to go for an early morning run/walk before school. I remember racing to "King of the Mountain Rock" with my brothers to watch all of the hot air balloons float weightlessly on the air above. I remember walking through crinkling leaves as I embraced the smell of roasting green chilies on my way home from X-Country practice. I remember the feeling of absolute freedom as I drove home from high-school to be home just because I could:). I remember singing my heart out to Taylor Swift in the white van as my mom drove me to my first day of college. I remember being overwhelmed by butterflies as I first chatted with the handsome man that I would eventually marry. I remember glancing out the plane window to see my introductory view of NYC.

As I have reflected on all of these experiences in my life, I am reminded of how many blessings the Lord has poured down on me. I am so grateful for all of life's experiences and look forward to making more wonderful memories...

;) Anna, you are one of the few people that completely understand me. I am so glad we are sisters. Sometimes when I say or do something that no one else gets I think to myself, "Dang, I wish Anna were here... She'd get it. ;) haha" Miss you chica!
